I am thinking of her son as well. He likely thought he could get help. Plus, I think he realized how violent his father was being and wanted to protect his younger brother. Perhaps even the mom screamed for him to do so. It must be shattering to know you had to run the other way and couldn’t help your mother. I feel…

That’s the fucked up thing about ROs. Everyone demands you get one (to show a paper trail) but by getting one you are automatically putting yourself at increased risk of violence or death. It’s no wonder so many women (and men!) choose not to file.

RIGHT?!?!?!?! It’s just a little bit of weed. Who gives a shit?

It is always about power with cops. I feel like we are living the Stanford Prison Experiment but in real life. All cops are our jailers and we are the inmates. Every interaction is approached with the dynamic that the cops are there to subjugate the general public but most often, the black population.

Bonobos rap?! Who makes their beats? Timberland?

Whoa - I forgot about Carson Daly. He still exists.

I don’t think I’ll ever understand trophy hunting. You’re not shooting the animal for food, shelter, or clothing. You’re not even shooting it to keep a population safe. You’re shooting it for...self esteem? To feel bigger and better than another creature? I find this very creepy.

I think this comment highlights how influential intersectionality is. The fact that both “sides” are right here makes the discussion a bit murky at times but I think that further reinforces the importance of having a wider discussion about rape allegations — specifically one that includes and addresses the influence…

He comes off as one of those “don’t ask permission, ask forgiveness later” type people. He clearly thinks he can just throw money at a problem at it will go away.

It’s okay. I like the concept of the show but am not a fan of the casting. While Milo is not bad at his part, acting wise, the pairing of him and Lily seems strange and forced. They have an 8-year old son??? Just feels weird cause neither of them give off a parental vibe in the show.

I had whooping cough as an adult and it was horrible. I popped the cartilige connecting ones ribs together (super ouch!) and my lung capacity has never been the same. I’m probably about 80% of what I was before it. But, you know...it’s so not a big deal and it’s more important to build up a natural immuno-defense? UGH!

Not quite...my child, my choice, THEIR crippling paralysis.

I have a friend (in Washington) who does not plan to vaccinate her children. She says that measles is just a “really bad cold” and that whooping cough is a “really bad cough” and “that is all.” She says she intends to keep her kids disease free by eating healthy and making sure they get plenty of exercise. I love her…

Hate me if you want but I always thought Hermione should have ended up with Viktor Krum. He was a Tri-Wizard contestant so clearly his magic game was on point. She wouldn’t be shackled with a man who, despite growing up in the wizarding world, couldn’t levitate a fucking feather without her help.

Who helped educate this young woman? She’s young but seems to understand intersectionality far better than many adults I know — including myself!!! I’m really impressed with her. Hats off to her and those who helped feed her brain.

You know how little kids go into new places and try to touch everything? I’ve taught my kid to raise her arms up and say, ‘no touching, no touching!” when prompted by my own demand for, “no touching”.

Specifically, Portia de Rossi’s wig.

I am confused. This kid was rumored to have seats in the second row, right? So, that means he had to get up, walk to the stage, get on the stage, walk across a small portion of it, and crouch down to plug his phone in.

I stand corrected on the exact setup. I think we can both agree, though, this sentence has a good chance of ending if the father advocates on behalf of his children. Personally, if I were the father, I’d rather try to find a new solution instead of sending them to juvie. But maybe sending his kids to juvie is what the…

I read the transcript. I am horrified that a family court judge, who should be aware of how traumatizing divorces are to children, could treat these children so poorly. I will try to give the judge the benefit of the doubt and conceded that she was likely at her wits end with this case. However, no matter how pissed…
